AI Compliance Officer
for Startups
Get SOC 2 certified without a compliance team. Screenata reads your codebase, writes your policies, collects evidence, and gets you audit-ready.
You just got asked for SOC 2.
Now what?
Your biggest deal is on the line. The buyer's security team wants SOC 2 Type I. You Google it. Vanta wants $15K/year, the audit is another $15K, and you still have to write every policy yourself. For a 10-person startup, that math doesn't work.
Every option still assumes you have someone who knows compliance. A vCISO or consultant to write policies, map controls, and prep for the audit. Most startups don't have that person.
Read the Founder's Guide to SOC 2Compliance platforms need a vCISO.
Screenata is the vCISO.
A compliance platform that actually does the compliance work. Policy writing, evidence collection, and audit prep included. You stay in control. Nothing ships without your approval.
Agents read your codebase
Agents clone your repo and analyze your stack: Next.js with Clerk for auth, Vercel for deploys, GitHub Actions for CI, PostgreSQL on AWS RDS. No other compliance tool does this.
Agents write your policies
AI agents ask questions about each policy, then draft SOC 2 policies based on your real systems and Trust Services Criteria. Not "the organization shall implement access controls." Instead: "Acme Corp enforces MFA through Clerk for all user accounts." Every claim tied to evidence. You approve each policy before export.
Agents collect evidence and guide you to certification
Evidence is pulled from your systems: GitHub branch protection rules, required reviews, MFA enforcement from your IdP, cloud encryption settings, audit log exports. A readiness dashboard shows your audit score, what's left to do, and what's blocking certification. Your AI assistant answers questions and tells you what to do next.
SOC 2 ready in six steps
From zero to audit-ready. No compliance expertise required. New to SOC 2?
Tell us about your company
A 5-minute conversational wizard (not a form) asks about your company size, industry, and what's in scope for the audit.
Connect your repo and cloud
Screenata's agents connect to your GitHub org and cloud environment. They scan your codebase, analyze your AWS/GCP/Azure configurations, and map your tech stack, auth, CI/CD pipeline, and existing security controls.
Review your findings
See what Screenata found: your frameworks, cloud infrastructure, security posture. Correct anything it got wrong.
Agents write your policies
AI agents walk through each policy, ask questions about your processes, and draft SOC 2 policies based on your real systems and Trust Services Criteria. Every claim is tied to evidence you can actually produce.
Evidence collected automatically
Agents pull evidence from your systems: user lists, MFA configurations, access logs, branch protection rules, encryption settings. No manual screenshots or chasing down proof.
Export and hand off to your auditor
When your readiness score hits 100%, export your policies, evidence, and control mappings as an audit-ready package. Hand it to your auditor and get certified.
SOC 2 template policies vs. your policies
"The organization shall implement access controls commensurate with the sensitivity of data processed."
"Acme Corp enforces multi-factor authentication through Clerk for all user accounts. Repository access is managed through GitHub organization roles with branch protection rules requiring pull request reviews before merge to the main branch."
Which one do you think the auditor follows up on? Why generic policies fail audits
A compliance platform alone isn't enough
Every compliance platform assumes you already have someone who knows compliance. Screenata doesn't.
Vanta / Drata

With other platforms, you still pay $2-5K/month for a vCISO to fill the gap.
